The CBS medical drama Watson has taken an unexpected turn with a surprise pregnancy involving one of its central characters.

In the episode that aired on Monday, November 3, Adam, portrayed by Peter Mark Kendall, found himself increasingly anxious as the wedding plans with his fiancée Lauren, played by Amanda Crew, began to intensify. Although Adam tried to dodge a cake-tasting appointment, Lauren brought the cake to him, using it as a sweet way to reveal her pregnancy.

Later, Adam confided in his twin brother, Stephens (also played by Kendall), expressing his mixed feelings about becoming a father. Despite putting on a brave face, Adam confessed that he didn’t feel the joy he expected. The dilemma of whether or not he will share these doubts with Lauren adds another layer of intrigue as the season progresses.

Inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s Sherlock Holmes tales, Watson, starring Morris Chestnut, is set six months after Moriarty, played by Randall Park, has killed the iconic detective. Watson has been grappling with the loss of his dear friend and partner by returning to his roots in medicine, heading a clinic focused on rare disorders.

The first season of Watson concluded with a shocking loss. How will the narrative unfold in its second season? In the episode that aired on Sunday, May 11, Watson (Morris Chestnut) and his team faced a tough decision, seemingly having to choose between Stephens and Adam (Peter Mark Kendall). Their choice set the stage for […]

Season 1 focused on Watson’s rivalry with Moriarty, but the next installment is expected to involve Sherlock Holmes (Robert Carlyle) — despite his character’s offscreen death prior to the events of the show.

Before the show returned in October, Chestnut, 56, and Rochelle Aytes teased whether viewers should be worried about the fates of their favorite characters.

“I will say that in this world of Watson, nobody is safe,” Chestnut shared exclusively with Us Weekly. “We’re dealing with a case by case basis with life or death situations. None of the cast is immune from that.”

The series previously showed Watson and the rest of his team almost making the difficult choice between Stephens and Adams. They opted to perform a life-saving brain surgery on Stephens before finding a way to keep Adams alive as well.

CBS is the place to be this fall with new and returning TV shows including Tracker, Boston Blue and more — but when is each program airing? The network’s schedule for the fall includes new TV episodes every night. Scripted fans will get updates on some of their favorite shows after several spring finales ended […]

“It is a procedural show. We have a procedural show with the serialized spine. So ultimately, we will have a case of the week each week that we’re presented with,” Chestnut shared. “We have to diagnose and then solve them. But there are also going to be a lot of surprises and a lot of twists and turns that the audience may not expect.”

Chestnut said he was thrilled about Watson expanding its storytelling.

“You learn more about the characters on the show. We spent so much time as Watson was dealing with Moriarty and the loss of Sherlock Holmes that it was pretty much dominating,” he continued. “This year, we get more into the characters. We’re going so much more without Moriarty there. We’re going so much more into character development.”

Watson airs on CBS Mondays at 10 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.
